Eff top ten right now I just want him to be a good playoff player first. It starts and ends with his fouls. He has stepped his defense up but he's got to stop fouling and he needs to get more looks. He should be getting way more threes.

He only had 3 fouls this game. He stepped up and won this game for us in the 4th Quarter.

Yes he did, I just want more of that. Few fouls, good defense, regular buckets.

But hey Rosas moved up and got his man Bolmaro.

With Rosas's draft history I wont be shocked in Bolmaro is good player in a year or two.


I don’t know man,if he didn’t overthink it and just got 1.Ant. 25. mcDaniels. 27. bane 33. Tillman like some of us wanted.

Did you see Ant bring the ball up in crunch time, DLo set up far out, and Ant not give it to him? Loved it.

excellent games from KAT & JMac..JMac hitting four 3's was huge. I have lost hopes on DLo tbh...the shots he attempts are low margin shots and in playoffs where physicality is even higher, those shots become even more tougher to make

If we can get this KAT the rest of the way we win. Russell averaged over 30 a game against the Grizz in the regular season. Is Dillon Brooks really that good of a defender?

You can look at any draft and pick like gangbusters with hindsight. Rosas missed out on some gold but he found a lot of silver, I think the only pick he mad that was bad was Culver and that was under weird circumstances where he was trying to make a trade. Bolmaro might be bad but it's too early to tell. I think all of his other picks have been good.

I don't love it. You don't play keep away from your teammate. Trust is the name of the game.

That 3rd 3 pointer that KAT tonight is the kind of play Wolves need to run more. KAT is excellent when he shoots from that spot. No clue why Wolves do not run those kind of plays more

Dlo has three bad/meh games for every good one, so he is due for a good one in game 5? We pay 30 million for this :banghead:

Yeah, if 20 GMs already passed on a guy, he’s a long shot, and I’m not blaming a GM a for missing the pick.

Our offense the last 2 minutes was so terrible. Tonight the talent won out over the dumb. Barely.
Memphis is so well coached though and their players so good fundamentally, rarely make mistakes.
Going to be a tough, tough series.

Playing with 2 PGs on the floor at all times subbing Jmac in helped tonight. Good adjustment.
McDaniels was pretty good on Bane, but foul trouble ended his night early.
Much better job keeping KAT going middle instead of getting himself on trouble out on the wings, so that was a nice adjustment.
He's so much better operating in between the boxes.
Finch getting away from his usual substitution pattern due to foul trouble/pressure to hold the lead, playing starters until end of 3rd quarter.
Great game from J-Mac. We got little else from our bench though.
I think we are going to need more paint points if we are going to win the series, hopefully we can keep getting JJJ in foul trouble.

I watched after heartbreak of game 3.
I am happy but game three still leaves scars and will take time to heal.

I don't love it. You don't play keep away from your teammate. Trust is the name of the game.

But DLo’s typical play with a late shot clock is to hold the ball for 20 seconds, then throw up a wild miss.

I don’t think that inspires trust.

Trust brings out the best in your teammates. Russell did make a very big basket late in this game.

And D-LO was crowding him calling for the ball instead of going to the corner, allowing his defender to bracket Ant.
That was not good teamwork. Even the announcer pointed that out.

Both the teams were extremely hot from 3 in this match. Wolves shot 50% from 3 and Griz shot 47% from 3.
